Where the Miami Hurricanes rank in the AP poll after their win over Stanford

The Miami Hurricanes got back on track Saturday night with a 42-7 win over the Stanford Cardinal at Hard Rock Stadium.

And that helped Miami stay in the top-10 of the AP top 25 poll.

The Hurricanes checked in tied with BYU for No. 10 in the latest poll, released Sunday afternoon. That’s one spot below their No. 9 ranking from last week but ensured that Miami is once again among the country’s top 10 teams, a spot it has held all season.

Miami (6-1, 2-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) scored 42 unanswered points in the game after falling behind 7-0 in the first quarter. That included outscoring Stanford (3-5, 2-3 ACC) 35-0 in the second half behind five rushing touchdowns, including three in the third quarter by Mark Fletcher Jr.

There was minimal movement at the top of the poll as everyone in the top 11 won. The top six — Ohio State, Indiana, Texas A&M, Alabama, Georgia and Oregon in that order — remained the same. Ole Miss and Georgia Tech flipped spots at Nos. 7 and 8. Vanderbilt moved up one spot to No. 9, while Miami and BYU tied for the 10th spot.

Six ranked teams lost this week, but three — then-No. 13 Oklahoma, then-No. 15 Missouri and then-No. 20 LSU — came to top-10 opponents. The three team that lost to unranked opponents were the then-No. 18 USF Bulls falling to the Memphis Tigers, then-No. 23 Illinois Fighting Illini losing to the Washington Huskies and then-No. 24 Arizona State Sun Devils being defeated by the Houston Cougars. LSU, USF, Illinois and Arizona State all fell out of the poll, with Houston, USC, Utah and Memphis entering
